- Apart from the fact that Windows 11 slows down your PCs, there is still gear that is incompatible with the new operating system.
- Brother printers will not function if linked through USB, according to the company.
- You won’t be able to modify printer settings or connect more than one printer through USB if you’re impacted.
- There are 106 distinct models that are affected by these issues, and a remedy is on the way.
Many people are already using Windows 11, which was released on October 5th, and it appears to be running smoothly, despite the fact that there are still a lot of issues with the new OS.
Brother is now advising that when using a USB connection with the newest operating system, some of its printers may no longer function or show errors.
If you possess one of these bad boys, you’ll be eager to see what happens next.
It is recommended that users connect their printers using other methods
According to a new support article from the printer manufacturer, upgrading to Windows 11 may prevent Windows from recognizing your Brother machine when connected through USB.
It’s also possible that you won’t be able to modify printer settings or connect more than one printer through USB.
Users of 106 different printer models may get an error message from the “USB Connection Repair Tool” that says, “Cannot print to the USB printer.”
On the plus side, according to Brother authorities, you may disregard the mistake and the paper will print properly.
Another point highlighted by the manufacturer is that USB-connected printers will not be able to interact with Windows 11’s printing tools, including:
- Tool for Changing Device Settings
- Setup Tool for Paper Size
- Tool for Distributed Printing
- Tool for Creating Unique IDs
- Wizard for Wireless Setup
- 5.4 P-Touch Editor
- Upgrade your software.
- Manager of Transfers
- Express Transfer
- Changes to the template
- Tool for configuring your printer
Affected users are advised to utilize an alternative connection mode, such as a wireless or wired network connection, for the time being.
The business claims it’s looking into the problem and is working on a fast fix.
While Microsoft hasn’t acknowledged the printing problems, don’t be shocked if they put a hold on PCs with Brother machines, preventing them from upgrading to Windows 11.
The IT company is already looking into eight other problems, including networking software protection holds, Oracle VirtualBox, and the Cc Cc web browser.
